Full Description

The Hydrangea ‘Ruby Slippers’ is a standout dwarf oakleaf hydrangea prized for its large, cone-shaped flower clusters and compact growth habit. In early summer, it produces abundant creamy white blooms that gradually transition to rich ruby red, creating a dynamic, multi-toned display over time.
